HOAs & Community Organizations

EVs and Community Organizations

If you belong to a community organization that regulates property upgrades, we offer simple solutions to get your community on board with your new EV charging station. Or, if you are a board member of a community organization, we can help prepare you for the coming of EVs so you know what to expect. Examples of community organizations include:

Homeowners Associations (HOA)

Environmental Commissions

Historical Preservation Societies

Neighborhood Associations

Design Review Boards

Community organizations are typically concerned with maintaining the property value, consistency, aesthetic appeal, and/or historical integrity of a community of freestanding single-family homes. AV charging docks and stations can be implemented in community organizations while adhering to CC&Rs or bylaws and with minimal visual impact. We also offer simple consent forms that allow EV drivers to pursue approval from their respective community organizations.

High Value, Low Visual Impact

Many community organizations may easily allow home charging stations that are wall-mounted in the homeowners' garage. Out of sight when the garage door is closed, neighbors and passersby won't even know that there's an EV refueling station on the premises. Moreover, AV's home charging station:

Has a small foot print

Features a streamlined, aesthetically pleasing design

Features tidy cable stowage

Is easily installed by a licensed electrician over a period of a few hours

Is listed by the Underwriters' Laboratory (UL) based on its safety and reliability

Is easily removable and can travel with the homeowner to his or her next property

However, you may want to advise your homeowners' association or community organization for reasons including:

You opt for a driveway or carport mounting, or any other installation that is visible from the sidewalk or street

Yours is more complex than the average charging station installation, requiring trenching or after trenching other electrical work that may be visible to or may otherwise affect your neighbors

You start a petition for a larger or faster "community" charger that can accommodate more than one driver in the community

Downloadable Consent Form is Par for the Course

Our HOA and Community Organization consent form is offered as part of the standard purchase process for all EV drivers who are subject to the regulations of such organizations - making the assessment, ordering, and installation process as simple as possible.

Products for Residences and Communities

Our suite of chargers offers practical charging solutions that embed easily into your home garage with minimum footprint and visual impact. We also offer products that can be used by multiple drivers in a shared condominium garage, or public parking area.

Installation with the Community In Mind

Our certified licensed electricians will assess the property with the EV driver and recommend the best products and location for charging. Because every building, project, and housing community is different, AV's site assessment teams can work closely with HOA officers, property managers, community organization board members, and homeowners to identify optimal placement of the charging units - taking into consideration safety, aesthetics, community regulations, and driver convenience. The site assessment, installation, and ongoing maintenance of AV charging equipment is handled exclusively by AV's knowledgeable local network of certified, licensed electrical contractors.
